Title A name given to the resource Analysis of zoochemical from Meretrix casta (Mollusca: Bivalvia) extracts, collected from Rameswaram, Tamil Nadu, India and their pharmaceutical activities Subject The topic of the resource Marine Anti-diabetic Agents; Marine Ethnomedicine; Marine natural products; Marine Pharmacognosy; Therapeutic exploration Description An account of the resource The marine ecosystem's diverse animal species offer a unique opportunity to discover marine-derived natural products. While numerous invertebrates have been studied, research on Indian marine invertebrates, especially Meretrix casta, remains limited. This study explores the zoochemical composition of ethyl acetate and methanolic extracts from Meretrix casta off Rameswaram, Tamil Nadu, India, and evaluates their bioactive potential, focusing on antioxidant properties, glucose uptake in yeast cells, and alpha-amylase activity. The results reveal the presence of alkaloids, flavonoids, polyphenols, sterols, terpenoids, and cardiac glycosides in both extracts, highlighting their bioactive potential. Although their antioxidant capacity is slightly lower than ascorbic acid, the extracts demonstrated significant alpha-amylase inhibition, suggesting their potential in blood sugar regulation and diabetes management. These findings underscore the therapeutic potential of M. casta in developing anti-diabetic compounds, warranting further pharmacological exploration. Authors.
